Chapter 178: Chang'an Chaos (1)
The snow on the eaves gradually melted under the heat wave that gushed out of the hall, and the water droplets smashed on the bluestone slabs under the eaves, and with a snap, they were crushed to pieces.
The door of the study was tightly closed, there were two people standing, Yang Jian glanced at a small note in his hand, his face was a little unsightly, and there was an old man standing opposite him, his face was white and beardless, I don't know if it was because it was too cold, his hands were in his sleeves, his arms were shrunk, as if he was inexplicably one inch shorter, and his kind eyes had a compassionate smile, but he always had a feminine temperament, which made people shudder......
He was silent and stood with a smile, waiting for Yang Jian to speak.
"Your Majesty's request is too difficult for Yang......" Yang Jian flicked the note in his hand, and sighed helplessly, "Yuwen Hu wants to kill Yu Chi Yuan, don't say it's me, even if you add Wei Chi Gang and Yu Wenda, you can't stand it, let alone rescue him, this ...... Please forgive Yang for saying bluntly, it is not appropriate for His Majesty to compete with Yuwen Hu at this time, and it is the best policy to show weakness to Yuwen Hu and secretly gather forces and wait for the opportunity. ”
The feminine-looking old man shook his head, "How can Your Majesty not know what the Duke is worried about?" It's just that the matter of General Wei Chi is too important, if General Wei Chi dies, His Majesty's side will inevitably be disheartened, this is busy, and I hope that the Duke of Guo must help ......"
As he spoke, he bowed to Yang Jian, "Wangguo Gong will rescue General Wei Chi, Your Majesty will be grateful!" ”
"Hurry up, how dare you be a minister?"
Yang Jian hurriedly helped him up, this old eunuch has always served Emperor Yuwen Yong closely, in the inner palace, there is no one more trusted by Yu Wenyong than him, and his worship can even represent the emperor, which is not trivial. Yang Jian didn't dare to accept this gift.
The old eunuch wiped his tears and said: "Your Majesty has fallen into such a situation, if the prince does not help, it will not be far from the day when it will be abolished!" ”
"Husband, please get up quickly, don't kill me, alas, I'll just answer......"
The words have come to such a point, Yang Jian just can't agree if he doesn't want to, he is angry that the old eunuch dares to force him with this trick, but in the end he still responds, and when the old eunuch leaves, Yang Jian sat in the study and thought for a while, a doubt has been lingering in his heart, and he has not gone for a long time.
"A few days after Yu Chi Hui entered, Yu Wen Hu hasn't released a rumor yet, what is going to happen to Yu Chi Hui, why is Yu Wen Yong so impatient?"
"It's just that ...... Wei Chi Yuan was disposed of, did it make him panic like a frightened bird?"
Yang Jian sat for a long time, a shadow stood quietly outside the door, and Yang Jian asked in a deep voice:
"What?"
"The master of the house, the servant has been looking for a long time, but he has not found any eyebrows, that Gao Yun is indeed a distant relative of Dugubin, and the shopkeeper over there in Yecheng also said that in the past, there was a golden wind building in Yecheng, and the proprietress was a beauty who was in her twenties...... Anything else, it's hard to find out......"
Yang Jian rubbed his eyebrows and said, "In addition to this, what other rumors have you heard?" ”
"It is said that the owner behind the proprietress is Hongnong Yang...... It seems that there is, Hedong Pei's ......"
"Hongnong Yang?"
Yang Jian raised his eyebrows, "She came from Yecheng, why did she become the shopkeeper of the Yang family again?" How could it be that it was rumored to have something to do with Pei's? ”
"No, I heard that the Jinfeng Building in Yecheng was originally the property of the Yang family, and as for the Pei family, it may be because the Pei family has also increased the capital."
"Is the news true?"
"The news that the servant only learned after many inquiries should be true......
A voice came from outside the window again, "Why don't you go to Yang's house and ask?" ”
Yang Jian was silent for a while, and said: "Forget it, the left and right are just a woman, and we and the Yang family are only superficially related, this matter is not easy to ask, even if people really have other plans, they don't necessarily have to tell me." You can pay attention to the trend in the future......"
Yang Jian's father and son claimed to be from Hongnong Yang, but in fact, it was difficult to have anything to do with Hongnong Yang, but because Yang Jian was indeed from Hongnong Huayin, and Yang Jian's father and Yang Jian gradually made a fortune, Yang pinched his nose and recognized it. This is actually the same reason as breaking the household and becoming famous, always like to blindly climb the high family of his ancestors.
Yang Jian recalled the pair of distant mountain-like eyebrows and cold eyes, remembered her seemingly unintentional "help" last time, and suddenly felt a little annoyed, but then put it behind, after all, she was just a woman, no matter how powerful she was, what could she be?
"Come here, I have another thing for you to do......"
Compared with her, doing a good job of Yu Wenyong's explanation is the most important thing.
Yang Jian stayed awake all night, Yuwen Yong was not idle on his side, it was the third watch, the candle flame in the Taiji Hall was still lit, Yuwen Yong faced the flying snow like fragments, listening to the old eunuch who had not changed into civilian clothes talking, for a long time, the gloom in his eyebrows gradually dissipated, and he said happily: "Then Luo Yan really said that?" The emperor was happy in his heart, and the old eunuch was even more energetic, "Yes, the prince said that His Majesty's move was inappropriate, but after the slave and maid only asked for a few words, he agreed......"
"If you go and do this, I will be relieved......"
Smiling and smiling, Yu Wenyong suddenly said:
"I never knew that you had colluded with Naroyan from the beginning......
With a pop, the old eunuch's smile froze on his face.
The cold wind was like a knife, rushing towards his face, stinging his old and loose skin, but he didn't feel much pain.
The blood dripped, and the brown shirt was dyed dark, and the long knife penetrated from the back of the heart, and then twisted it, shattering his internal ......organs, blood gushed out of the old eunuch's mouth, and the eyes full of horror looked at Yu Wenyong directly, as if he had a million words to say, but after all, it was dim and turned into a silent gray.
Yu Wenyong's face was expressionless, looking at the corpse at his feet.
Behind the eunuch ......, it was Yuwenda and Yuwen Shenju.
"Brother Huang, what should I do with He Quan, a dog minion?" Yuwenda retracted the blood-stained knife into its sheath and kicked the corpse indifferently.
"He Quan went out of the palace privately, misbehaved, and was suspected of colluding with outsiders, and was killed on the spot by the palace guards." Yu Wenyong instructed, "But the news should be kept secret for two days, don't let Yang Jian know......"
"Your Ministers understand."
Yu Wenyong tightened his collar and stepped out of the hall, and the snow was whistling all over the sky, falling all over the ground.
The cold wind can give Yu Wenyong a sober feeling.
He looked at the eternal night, and his lips moved:
"Boguero, I'm sorry ......"
The small character of Wei Chi Yu is Bo Juluo.
……
They are not the only ones who can't sleep tonight, in the small attic, the wax of the red candle is about to burn out, the woman in plain clothes is holding bright red clothes, embroidering little by little, a middle-aged woman pushes open the attic door and comes in, kneeling and sitting:
"Miss, there's news over there, He Quan, who connected with Yang Jian, is dead......
The embroidery needle suddenly deviated, and the bean-sized beads of blood oozed from the fingertips of the index fingers, and the woman frowned and sucked on the fingertips, "What's the matter?" ”
"We don't have a lot of eyeliner at the palace, and we don't know what's going on......"
The middle-aged woman took out a note from her sleeve and handed it to her hesitantly, "However, we found this on him." ”
The woman put down her clothes and needlework, then looked at it in the dim candlelight, put it down, and muttered for a while, "Tell the person who connected it immediately, Yuwen Yong is going to let Yang Jian rescue Wei Chi Yuan, and he must be sent to Jinyang before noon tomorrow......"
The middle-aged woman looked at the sky and estimated, "If you believe in the eagle, it should be able to be delivered." ”
She added, "From yesterday to today, we found that someone was looking around for news of the girl, and the person came from the Suiguo Mansion. ”
"Was he alert so quickly?" The young woman was still embroidering by herself, "It's okay, our preparations are very sufficient, I'm not afraid of him checking it, the more he checks, the more he can't suspect me, there is a Gaobin cover, and the Yang family's skin, we are not afraid of ......"
"I'm afraid they'll ...... there"
"Unless his precious son doesn't want it anymore, he can only carry it for us, we have already sent it to Yecheng, Gao Gong, this person is Gao ...... It was His Majesty who asked for it......" The woman's expression was faint, but her emotions fluctuated a little when she mentioned the emperor, she tied a knot, bit off the thread, and then said, "The Yang family will not say it, they want to bet on both sides, the family means, and the three holes of the cunning rabbit are very common." ”
"Oh, then I'll rest assured, if the girl doesn't have anything to say, then the old body will go down first......"
The woman was silent, and before leaving, the woman caught a glimpse of her embroidered garment, and said with a smile:
"The girl's wedding dress is really good-looking, I don't know if the son of that family will be blessed to marry the girl in the future......"
"Ha, don't laugh at me, Mama, I'm an old girl, and I'm still married there?"
The woman smiled calmly and teased herself, not caring at all, and she would not blush at all.
The woman said solemnly: "No, the girl is beautiful and talented, and a man will be interested in the girl." ”
"Maybe......" The woman put down the work in her hand and said, "It's late at night, Mama should rest early." ”
"Okay, that girl will go to bed early......
The door was closed, and under the shadow of the lamp, the bright red wedding dress was dazzling.
"Anyway, I can't get married, so why embroider it?" She picked up a handful of scissors and was about to crush it, but when she was done, she suddenly couldn't bear it, hesitated, took out a box, put it in, and stuffed it into the closet of the cubicle.
"Let's keep it for a thought."
She blew out the candle.
……
On the second day, in Jinyang, Gao Wei sat in the Xuanzheng Hall with his jacket in his arms, stepped on the stove, flipped over a superstition in his hand, and suddenly smiled:
"Yang Jian, he is simply a roundworm in my stomach, if it wasn't hard to tie up, I would have asked you to tie him up. He can see that if he throws away that ambition, he is still a human being......"
"It's a pity that ......, I'm going to make cannon fodder for Yuwenyong......" Gao Wei sighed.
"What does Your Majesty mean, the minister didn't understand."
Liu Taozhi jumped out with a lot of eyes to meet the emperor's educational psychology, and at this time, His Majesty needs someone to listen to him pretend.
"Yuwen Yong obviously knew that they couldn't fight Yuwen Hu together, and let Yang Jian go to protect Chi Yuan, isn't this not good?" Gao Wei covered his nose, which was a little stuffy after catching a cold, and said: "If Yang Jian really does what he does, he will be sold by Yuwen Yong, and Wei Chi will have to take his own ...... if he can't save him."
"How so? Didn't Yu Wenyong want to rescue Yu Chi Yuan? ”
Gao Wei glanced at him, "I want to change it to me, but if you think about it, it's impossible, who does he think Yang Jian is?" If he could save Wei Chi Yuan's energy, he would have killed Yu Wenhu and become that powerful minister. ”
"Is he trying to save Wei Chi Yuan? He was clearly preparing to protect Yuwen and give up Wei Chi Yuan, and by the way, he would push Yang Jian into the pit......"
"When the time comes, he can push it again, Yang Jian can't tell even if he has his mouth all over his body." Gao Wei smiled, threw the note into the incense burner, and saw that Liu Taozhi looked confused, knowing that this was not something that his IQ could understand, so he said:
"It's not the first time that Yuwen Yong has done this kind of thing, Hou Mo Chen Chong was also on Yu Wenyong's side, Yuwen Yong and Hou Mo Chen Chong traveled together, and suddenly Yu Wen Yong went back to Chang'an overnight, everyone was very strange about this, but there was a hint from Yu Wen Yong before, Hou Mo Chen Chong was self-righteous, saying that it was probably Yuwen who was ambushed, and his words quickly spread out. After Yuwen Yong found out, he pretended to be very angry and scolded Hou Mo Chen Chong in front of everyone, this is not over, after Yuwen Wu heard about it, he immediately sent someone to rush into his house and force him to kill, alas, poor ......"
"But what's in it for Yu Wenyong?"
Liu Taozhi became more and more confused.
"......" Gao Wei was really speechless, "Yuwen Yong proves his loyalty to Yuwen Hu with practical actions, isn't this the biggest benefit?" ”
"He is very deep in the city, and he knows that his strength is far inferior to Yuwen Hu, so he simply relented and waited for the opportunity to strike another fatal blow."
Liu Taozhi was really shocked, glanced at the emperor, and wanted to ask if all of you who were emperors had a twisted belly, but when it came to his mouth, he didn't have the guts, so he had to ask: "This Yuwen Yong is so powerful, do you want us to ......?"
Gao Wei stood up from the brocade pier and said, "No, but Yang Jian asked her to keep an eye on me, in case he really fell into Yu Wenyong's trap, save his life and send him here, if it can't be done...... he struggled for a while.
“…… Then let him die. ”
